It was time for the Big Boys.

First a .308 TAP, which had a 165 grain Hornady plastic tip bullet. It went through all 12 boards, blew up the water jug, but only bounced off the wood in front of the boards.

That's what it was designed to do.

Next I shot it with a round of South African military ball, 7.62 X 51 mm, M1A2.

This round went through 12 boards of sheetrock, busted the water jug, busted a brick, but was stopped by the brick.

The water spray was impressive, to say the least.

Blew the water jug up.

Blew up a brick.

Interestingly enough, take a look at the picture.

You can see that there is no damage to the tip of the bullet.

It must have hit the brick sideways, which means that it was tumbling.

Well, it was time to wrap up things.

At the request of my friend Matthew_Q, I brought my Shiloh Sharps .45-70, Long Range Express.

The load is a 515 grain round nose, gas checked, hard cast bullet over 41.0 grains AA 2495 for about 1500 fps.
